Apple Seeds Third macOS Tahoe Public Beta

Launchpad is still gone, right?
I’m not downgrading until it’s back or there’s an alternative app.

The new 'Apps' app replaces Launchpad, essentially opening a Spotlight derivative UI.

Quite a cynical take on what is obviously a more logical naming system for their ever-expanding collection of operating systems.

If it's so logical, then why not call them M26 processors?

I miss bug fix releases like Snow Leopard back in the day.

I miss when updates went to 11 like Tiger 10.4.11.

Well Applications is already in the pinned list in Finder so it's only one extra click away from being on the Dock.

Two clicks, apps need to be double clicked to be opened from Finder But for me it’s not even close, the folder in the dock feels so much more slick

I'm actually bothered most by the insane corner radii at the edge of every window. I'm sure I'll get used to it, but it makes it all look very cartoonish.

Also, I just launched the Contacts app and, whoof, it really burns the eyes.

Agreed, it feels like they took the radius a pixel or two too far, it just doesn’t seem to jibe with MacOS windows well, esp since they often have buttons or tools in the corners, unlike on iOS/iPadOS

Thankfully people are showing there’s a terminal command to bring back Launchpad in Tahoe. That’s one of the first things I’ll be doing when it comes out. With the four finger gesture, it’s the easiest way to access/organize common apps I use that I don’t use often enough to keep in the dock. Stacks was nice, but Launchpad was far better and the iPad “Home gesture” made it cleaner than leaving Launchpad in the dock
